- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12359531, 10 months agoStopped working but followed @olivrrstray instructions below and it is working again. Thank you.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Matthew, 10 months agoDoes not work. You can click profiles but it won't switch to them or load them. Nothing happens.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18234082, 10 months agoIt was great while it worked. Now it no longer switches profiles. I will uninstall. The workaround I use now is to add the -p option to firefox.exe in the shortcut. That way every time I wish to switch profiles, I just open the Firefox icon on my desktop and it will ask which profile I want to use.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Scarlet, 10 months agoCurrently down, but olivrrstray in the reviews has a fix for windows that was easy to follow, and when working properly it's fantastic, very easy to use and i love having multiple profiles available
- Rated 4 out of 5by Lauren, 10 months agoThis is a fantastic add-on that really helps me use Firefox in the multiple ways I need to without having to log in and sync multiple Mozilla profiles, however, it's currently malfunctioning (23-Mar-2024). Thanks to olivrrstray's review I was able to get back in and I concur with JavitoPlay, the dev is most likely working to update it.
- Rated 4 out of 5by JavitoPlay, 10 months agoNow its broken the "click" on the profiles, but you can go to edit profiles, and "set as default" to open the profiles you had keep.
I suppose the developer is working to fix it
In general, this extension its great. - Rated 4 out of 5by olivrrstray, 10 months agoBroken with the March 19th update, 124.0.
Edit:
For the more tech savvy, there is a workaround on Issues tab on the Github page.
For the less tech savvy who have Windows:
1. Hit Windows + R.
2. Put "%APPDATA%\nulldev\FirefoxProfileSwitcher\config\" in the prompt, and hit "ok." This will open the folder with configuration files.
3. Copy the path; this is the address in the top bar. It should look similar to this:
C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\nulldev\FirefoxProfileSwitcher\config
4. Open the notepad app, create a new file. Paste the following text in the notepad:
{"browser_binary": "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"}
5. Open the File menu, click Save As.
6. In the address bar, paste the address you saw before, and change "Save as type" from Text documents to all files. You should see files like "avatar.json"
7. Save the file as: config.json
8. Reopen Firefox - Rated 4 out of 5by Nazmond, 10 months agoWas working well but now unresponsive, cannot access my other profile.
Update - fixed it thanks to olivrrstray's short guide. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18335913, 10 months agoIt was working fine but recently my clicks have been non responsive. I'm locked out of my other profile and am unable to access any of my bookmarks

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18334926, 10 months agoIt worked fine until Firefox version 124. Now it doesn't react on when I want to switch profile.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18274881, a year agoTook a minute to setup, but once done its an awesome experience! btw im on a Macbook Pro 2019 Intel I7
- Rated 5 out of 5by bobanderson, a year agoWorks flawlessly on m2 pro macbook running Sonoma, honestly insane that this hasn't been implemented natively yet
